AI Overview
On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack (today, January 6, 2026),
House Democrats held an event in a Capitol basement conference room, not an "insurrection meeting".
The event was a forum where dozens of Democratic lawmakers recounted their experiences of the 2021 attack and pledged to never forget the insurrection. The event was held in the basement after the Speaker's office declined requests for a dedicated hearing room or the larger auditorium in the Capitol Visitor Center.

During the actual insurrection on January 6, 2021, many senators were hustled into the Capitol basement by police for security.
A plaque commissioned by Congress in 2022 to honor the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 remains in a Capitol basement utility room in storage, as Republican leaders have reportedly blocked its display.
